3-1 City, Haaland, Phil, Haaland again.

I was confident wed smash chelsea as they are dog shit.

I never was. We are just not firing on all cylinders and Big Erl is way out of form.

Feels like De Bruyne and Foden aren't getting on the ball enough to influence and control the game. They're so high up, need one more man in the middle for that to work - maybe bring Bernardo on in a deeper role for Alvarez.

 

[Keeper!]

Doku having a bit of a mare

He is hiding from the ball far too often

 

[jrb]

Doku off now.

I'm not to down as this is fixible

Akanji is poor but not his fault he is being played in midfield in the Stones role, he isn't stones

Alvarez isn't a 10, we might have to accept it is one of him and thanos

Just wasting Foden out right at the moment

We need to be thinking about walker in the long term, the negatives are mounting and the positives decreasing

 

[Blue2202]

I don't understand us playing Foden out wide for Alvarez, it's ludicrous

I cant believe pep continues playing him in there, what effect does he have on a game?! He also takes away all the space for kev to operate in. Dont get me started on fucking akanji stepping in there too..

Nail on head
Alvarez is the issue

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Similar to the goal Isak scored a few weeks ago.

We are a wet dream to any team capable of a fast counter attack.
A slow flat footed back 4 who are so immobile it’s embarrassing. 4 blue shirts and Sterling scores.
